Felted Easter Basket

This is a felted Easter Basket... I made it while sitting at the hospital with Mom...You knit your item out of wool...the wash it in hot water and shrink it...it pulls all the stitches together really tight... this shrunk more vertically than horizontally..so it is a bit taller than I wanted...but I am learning!! I made it on my largest round Knifty Knitter... I have now ordered a larger round loom.... I want to make more purses....but I think I am going to have to go up one more size... I love new looms!!  Hugs, Jeannie

Felted Purse

Handmade Design by

I am so excited about this purse... I met a lady at Taming of the Ewe Saturday ... she did the most beautiful felted purses.... I feel in love with her purses...and she was so helpful...I wish that I knew her name to give her credit!... so I came home and used some wool yarn I had on hand and made me one.. Now I am going to have to get me a larger loom...yet another loom!... I love my looms!! Thanks for looking!  Hugs~Jeannie

This is a picture of it before I felted it in the washing machine..it is about 2/3 the original size.
